After I read the Wikipedia article, Communism can be defined as an economic and political system in which facts of production are collectively owned and directed by the state.
Communism has had many drastic changes at a time, but has been able to overcome them. One of the advantages of communism is that everybody has a job, but the downside is that no matter how much you work or whom you work for, you will always be getting paid the same amount of money as everyone else. . In our economy, we must work to make money. The more we work, the more we will get paid and we will be able to buy what we need, and what we want. In a communist economy, we can work as much as or as little we want, but we will still get paid the same amount of money as everyone else. Why would we want to work so hard if we were going to make the same amount of money. Another weak spot about communism is the fact that consumers will not always get what they desire because the government decides on what people will buying. In a communistic society, the government makes all decisions for people.
